MCLELLAN.
Early in August the army was ordered
to leave Harrison's Landing, on James
+river, contrary to the opinion of Gen.
M'Clellan that the road to Richmond was
by way of the Peninsula. On that occa
sion he addressed Gen. HaHeck the re
markable letter, under date of "Berkeley,
Va., August 4th," which was republished
in yesterday's Intelligencer.
The condition of affairs at Washington
during the campaign of Pope is graphical
'!y described.
September 2, the President directed
General M'Clellan to take command of
his own and Gen. Pope's armies and find
the enemy. On the 17th of September
Antietam was fought, South Mountain
and Crampten's Gap having been already
nvon by us. Not a single gun or color
was dost by us in these battles, and our
total loss in men at Antietam is stated by
Gen. tdriellan at 12,469.
The advance into Virginia after Antie
tam is related, with an account of the
causes by which that advance was delay
ed. On the night- of Nov. 7th General
M'Ciellan was relieved, and the command
transferred to Gen. Burnside.
Gen. M'Clellan thus describes his own
report.
&The report is in fact the history of the
army of the Potomac. During the peri
od occupied in the organization of that
army it served as a barrier against the
advance of a lately victorious enemy,
while the fortification of the capital was
in progress, and, under the discipline
which it then received, it acquired
strength, education, and some of that ex
perience which is necessary to success in
active operations, and which enabled it
afterward to sustain itself under circum
stances trying to ...the most heroic men.
Frequent skirmishes occurred along the
lines, conducted with great gallantry,
which innured our troops to the realities
of war.
"The army grew into shape but slow.
iy, and the delays which, attended on the
obtaining of,arrns continued late into the
winters .of 1861-62, were no less trying
to the soltlievtti!au to the people of the
country. Et at the.thof the organi.
tatio ofd 'flinsula campaign some of
ti, ti were without rifles,
nor were the utmost exertions on the
part of the military authorities adequate
to overcome the Obstacles' to active ser
vice.
"When at length , the army . was in con
dition to take the field=the Peninsula cam
paign was planned-and entered upon
with enthusiasm by - officers and men.
Had this campaign -been followed up as it
was designed, I cannot doubt it would
have resulted'ln4 - allorions triumph to
our arms and the-permanent restoration
of the - power °tithe government in Vit . %
ginia and North Caroline, if not
throughobt' the revolted States. It Was,
however; Otherwise ordered; and the Ar
my Orthe Potomac was recallecl4rom
within sight of Richmond and incorpora
ted with the Army of Virginia. The
'disappointments of the campaign 'on the
Peninsula had not dampened their ardor
or diminished their patriotism. They
fought well, faithfully, -gallantly under
Gen. Pope, yet were compelled to fall
hack on Washington, defeated and al
most demoralized. The enemy, no long
er occupied in guarding his own capital,
poured his troops northward, entered
Maryland, threatened Pennsylvania, and
even Washington itself Elated by his
recent victories, and assured that our
troops were disorganized and dispirited,
he was confident that the seat of war
was now permanently transferred to the
loyal States, and that his own exhausted
soil was to be relieved from the burden of
-supporting •two hostile armies. Butibe
did not understand' the spirit -Which ani
mated the-soldiers of the Union.
"I shall not, nor can I, living, forget
that when I was ordered •to the command
of the troops for the defence of the capital,
the soldiers, with. whom I had shared so
much of the anxiety and pain and suffer-.
ing of the war, had not lost their confi
dence in me as their commander. They.
sprang to my call with all their ancient
vigor, discipline and courage.. I led
.them into Maryland. 'Fifteen days after
'they had lief/en back defeated -before
Washington they 'vanquished the-enemy
on the rugged heights of South Mountain,
pursued to thetharMought field•of Antie
tam, and drove him, broken and disap
pointed across the Potomac :into Yirgi.
nia.
..The army had need of rest after the
terrible experience of battles and march
•es, with scarcely an interval of repose,
which they had gone through from the
time of leaving the Peninsula, the return
to Washington, the defeat in Virgina, the
victory at South Mountain and again at.
Antietam. It was not surprising that
they were in a large degree destitute of
the absolute necessaries to effective duty.
Shoes were worn out and blankets were
lost ; clothing was -short, the army was
unfit for active service, and an-interval
for rest and equipment was necessar,y.
When the slowly forwarded supplies
fcame•to us I led the army across the riv
,er, .renovated, refreshed, in .good order
and discipline, and forced the retreating
foe to a position where I was confident of
decisive victory; when in the midst of the
movement, whilemy advanced guard was
actually in contact with the enemy, I was
removed from the command. * *
' "Instead of reporting a victorious cam
paign, it has been my duty to relate the
heroism of a reduced army, sent upon an
expedition into an enemy's country,there
to abandon one and originate another and
new plan of campaign, Which might and
would have teen:successful if supported
with appreciation of its necessities, but
'which failed because of the repeated fail
ure of promised support at the most criti
cal, and, it proved, the most fatal mo
ments. That heroism surpasses ordina
ry description. Its illustration must be
left for the pen of the historian in times
of calm reflection, when the nation shall
be looking back to the past from the
midst of peaceful days. For me now it
is sufficient to say that my comrades
were victors in every field save one, and
there the endurance of a single corps ac
complished the object of its fighting, and,
by securing to the army its transit to the
James river, left to the enemy a ruinous
and barren victory."
Ser b VILLAINOUS CONDUCT.—The wife
of an officer, in the army, living in Wil
liamson county, Illinois, recently received
from her husband a package containing
seven hundred dollars, a portion of which
belonged to the families of soldiers living
in that vicinity. A few days after the re
.ception of the money there came. a sick
soldier to the house of the officer's wife
and asked permission to remain over'
night. The woman refused, but the sol
dier insisting, she 'finally consented.
During the night the family was aroused
by the violent knocking of parties outside,
who demanded the door to be opened,
and if not opened they would break it
down; that the officer's wife bad a lot of
money and they were bound to have it.
The woman was terrified, and, giving
the money to the soldier inside, secreted
herself and her children, when the soldier
exclaimed, in a voice loud enough to be
heard by the villains outside, "I am un
armed, but 11l had a pistol I would fix
the villains." The door was then burst
ed open, and ten men disguised as ne•
groes, entered the house. Five shots
were instantly fired at them, killing three
of the party and wounding another ; the
remainder fled. The blacking having
been washed from the faces of the dead,
they were discovered to be the woman's
nearest neighbors—one of them her
brother- in-law.— Cincinnutti Enquirer.

and cost about $5,000. The chapel was

We publish to-day a brief digest
of the report of Gen. M'Clellan.—
It will be found very interesting.
The letter which the General ad
dressed to the President from Har
rison's Bar, July 7th, 1862, will
attract particular attention ; and it
will be almost universally regret
ted, we think, that the President
did not follow the sound, Christian
and statesmanlike "suggestions it
contains; and yet that letter, we
are confident, was the main cause
of Gen. M'Clellau's removal from
the head of the army and retire
ment from active service. The
better we become acquainted with
that able, accomplished and ill
used officer, the more we admire
him- and the more we detest and
despise his -weak and malignant
persecutors. His day of reward,
however, and their day of debase

from the Adminiet t ittrion side,and the

more remote th-an tver, neither party
being willing to, yield an inch. The
Abolitionists haVe had itin-their pow
er to prevent this embarrassment, by
the timely electi.on of a Senator in
Major White's place; it las been
autboritivaly stated by three of their
leading papers, that his resignation
was obtained- weeks itgo. Why it is
not produced, is of course known only
to those who are in the secret. El
forte were made to place Democrats
in every possible nosible false position
an instance of which occurred yester
day, when they were called upOn to
refuse the consideration of n tribune
to General Grant. Everybody knew
that, under all proper circumstances,
the members of Um party would
heartily honor any bravo General;
but such resolutions could not be act
ed upon until the Senate was organiz
ed. No resolution would be in order,
even though his Republican friends
saw fit to propose one endorsing the
Bible or the sanctity cf marriage.
